Dataset from dynamic worksheet
Did you get a solution to this. I am having the same trouble
+1 to this
Hello
there are multiple ways to access worlbooks/worksheets dynamically. But to answer your question I absolutly need your real life example (where is/are the file/s, structured all the same way? What content you exactly have to access (table, sheet, range?))
Without this information it's impossible answer... it would only be guessing
Have a nice time

Hi Jimmy,
Thanks for your reply.
I am taking a dynamic worksheet from Dynamics 365, authenticating the data connection in Excel and then saving it to One Drive for Business.
The idea is to build a report in Power Bi Report builder that uses this refreshable worksheet as the data source from Power Bi.
All goes well until I try to upload the Workbook to Power Bi as a dataset as I am forced to turn the excel data into a table which then kills all of the data connections and refresh ability of the report dataset.

Sorry, not really an expert with dynamics, only Excel.
And I don't understand this argument
"dataset as I am forced to turn the excel data into a table which then kills all of the data connections and refresh ability of the report dataset."
With Power query you can only access the raw data present in the file.. so no connection. But if you are interested to get data from dynamics 365... why don't query this source directly?
Have a nice time
